He might be leading the team maintaining this well known course right now, but his career began far from the highs of such a facility. Growing up as a Gold Coast boy, Richard wasn't one of those kids who was always chasing golf. Whilst he began mowing lawns at an early age, his father was a butcher by trade, and Richard went about earning money trying his hand at a number of different jobs. When he did get an opportunity to work on a golf course, it wasn't the glamourous well known tracks of the Gold Coast we hear about today, but it was a start nevertheless! From here he would go on to help build a number of the most well known golf courses of the Gold Coast through the boom years of golf in the 1990's before settling into a career greenkeeping groove at Royal Pines and then Lakelands Golf Club itself. Join Richard and I as he takes us on a nostalgic trip through the years of golf on the Gold Coast and hearing about the rise in his career along with the rise of golf on the Gold Coast, learning and experiencing some of the highest level of maintenance and presentation of any golf course working under some of the country's best greenkeepers.

On Walking the Fairways, the news segment of the podcast, I continue the search for the golf hole across Australia and New Zealand with the highest elevation drop from tee to green. I have a few new contenders in this segment and we have discovered a new clubhouse leader! I also have news coming from Western Australia with the recent hosting of the WA PGA in Kalgoorlie Golf Course and the up coming WA Open at Secret Harbour Golf Links. There's updated news of a new architect involved at the soon to commence Lovedale Farm project in the NSW Hunter Valley, some info of new upgrades to The Coast Golf Club in Sydney, a rebrand of what was Ocean Dunes on King Island in Tasmania, some cryptic clues about Royal Queensland Golf Club's new short course, some public chatter about the idea of a possible new golf course near the Kurnell sand dunes. And on top of all that, I'm joined once again by Dave Meadows, Course Foreman of Royal Adelaide Golf Club, but this time for a post trip update of his Smoke & Soul Project feeding the disadvantaged and homeless across Australia's east coast.

Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mcmahons.net.au⁠⁠ Paul Mogford came into golf course architecture from a landscape architecture background. It was after reading an article written by the late great Peter Thomson that, as Paul puts it, "lit a flame". And so began his pursuit to work in the golf course architecture industry. This conversation with Paul explores some of Paul's work as an architect such as Metropolitan and Sanctuary Cove, and there's a brand new project soon to start. We also explore his partnership in business with Neil Crafter where they would ultimately become Crafter + Mogford, and I have an interesting question for Paul to close out our conversation, which is met with an equally interesting answer!

Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mcmahons.net.au⁠⁠ Neil Crafter is part of a great golfing family from Adelaide in South Australia. His father and uncle were golf professionals in Adelaide, and it was probably going to be a given that Neil and his sister Jane would ultimately become very good golfers as well. As Neil grew through his playing career he decided that he wasn't going to be quite good enough to earn a living from playing golf and changed his focus to studying architecture. His architecture degree combined with passion for golf, and assisting his father designing golf courses in South Australia meant Neil would soon discover his work passion was golf course architecture. Join Neil and myself as we discuss his career path into becoming one of Australia's respected golf course architects, some of the golf courses that he has recently worked on, along with his other passions of golf architecture history, Dr Alister MacKenzie, and writing books.

On this segment of Aussie Golf History I'm joined by Philip Baird, Director of Golf and historian at Manly Golf Club. Phil and I talk about the lineage of the Ferrier family beginning with the well known Jim Ferrier, past golf professional of Manly Golf Club, and we go backwards from there. The main reason behind this podcast is some new information that has recently been found in China and shared amongst golf historians of the understanding of how Jim Ferrier from Manly Golf Club is related to John Ferrier, a founding member of Carnoustie Golf Club, and there's a new part of the story of designing the first golf course in China. This is a short history of sorts but one well worth taking in. I hope you enjoy this short history of the Ferrier family.

Being from Adelaide in South Australia, and playing cricket, Brenton's got his first taste of turf greenkeeping at the famous Adelaide Oval. But it was his first job as an apprentice greenkeeper at a golf course that quickly cemented that golf greenkeeping was where he wanted to be. After working his way through a couple of roles and missing out on some other opportunities, it was suggested to Brenton that he consider an overseas opportunity to gain different experiences on golf courses in the UK. And to the UK he went on an adventure of discovery and taking in as many experiences as he could. Returning to Australia, Brenton got the next job he was looking for at the highly regarded Kooyonga Golf Club in Adelaide but it wasn't long before his first Superintendent position came calling from Victoria deep Covid restrictions. Come along for a great conversation with Brenton as he shares with us his greenkeeping career journey, some interesting insights into Settlers Run, and a few deep rabbit holes we go down at the very beginning during Steve's Super Seven questions!

Well, here we are together, at the milestone of 200 podcast episodes! This episode itself is a time to reflect and say thank you. I decided to do a couple of live podcast recordings where listeners and followers could ring in to the podcast and help me celebrate 200 episodes and talk about what they like. I also wanted to get in touch with and include a few people that had an influence on me from the early days on the pod, who I haven't spoken to for a few years. Come on an audio journey with me for a celebration of a different kind full of thanks and gratitude. Oh and there's also a guest you've never heard of or from before, and you most likely will never hear from them again after this!
